Highland Park’s Viking Legend series concludes with Odin after Valkyrie and Valknut, presenting the most intensely peated expression in the series to honour the most powerful of the Norse gods. Matured entirely in refill casks — which provide gentler and less direct oak extraction than first-fill casks — Valfather’s intense peat character is allowed to express itself without competition from aggressive new wood.

For Valfather’s intensely peated character, refill casks allow the heathery Orcadian peat smoke to be the dominant flavour note without aggressive new wood competing. The result is the beautifully balanced complexity of camphor, peat, and citrus that refill maturation uniquely produces. Limited allocation.
